IA Vision.

A careworn man slowly wended his
way homeward, pondering over the prob
lem Of existence, and wondering how he
should supply the many needs Of a large
family. Suddenly there appeared floating
In the air above him and just out Of reach
q vision Of eas- Pointing Hand. Shocked
and startled, he instinctively passed his
hand over his eyes and then tried TO
thrust the phantom from him. Again and
again, but without avail, he tried to rid
himself Of Its presence, but the Pointing
Hand - hang ever just beyond his
reach and nothing would induce the vision
to depart. 1t fingered through the long
evening hours, and when at last his eyes
closed In slumber he dreamed Of ~ the
Pointing Hand. Through the still watch
es Of the night It was ever present, and
whom at last his eyes opened in the morn
ing 1t was only TO behold once again the
threatening, commanding phantom OF the
ever present Pointing Hand, - that
hung like menace and a bidding above
him, always pointing in one direction. He
followed 1t, and found peace and rest. It
was REASON pointing the way to bargains

Attracting Attention.

The Salmon river mining district
continues to attract attention from
the mining people Of the northwest,
a class OF men that is being rapidly
augmented by the constant arrival
of recruits from Colorado, Montana,
California and other old mining
sections. These men who were for
a long time skeptical as regards to
the extent and value Of the mining
properties Of northern Idaho and
Washington, are beginning to real
ize that nature did not store all the
precious metals in one or two linn
tied sections of the United States,
and are awakening to the fact that
there is yet vast field almost
unprospected that will yield
ample reward to the prospector who
will take the trouble to investigate.
This influx of experienced miners
Is whath the people Of this locality |
have long desired, and this presence
will tend to bring this region more

The First OF the Season.

One of the chief features OF the Odd
Fellows celebration yesterday was the
match game of base ball between the
Sprague club and the Review nine
of this city ON the grounds of the
local organization in the western
part OF town. So much interest was
manifested that the largest crowd
was present ever seen at contest Of
the kind in this city. Upwards of a
thousand persons witnessed the
game many of whom were ladies. On
account of the chilly atmosphere and
the very high wind fine playing was
out the question. besides both clubs
showed the want OF practice. While
fielding errors were numerous yet
many excellent individual plays
were made. The Sprague club is
made Of good material and before
the season Is over they will be play
Ing a hard game. They are sharp
base runners and take every advan-
tage of an opening. The club is
we'll disciplined. The home club play
ed with their old time vim, and pre-
sented one of the strongest mines
ever put on the field by the Organi-
zation. The old favorites showed up
in great form and received a hearty
greeting from the rather too partial
crowd. At the start 1t looked as
though tho game would be a close
and exciting one, but the home club
got on streak of batting in the
third inning, the visitors became
ratified, and the result was total of
ten runs for the Reviews, which set
tied the result beyond question.
The game was very long lasting
fully three hours. III. j. Cole filed
the tfankless position of umpire,
and did his work fairly and imparti-
ally. The following is the score:

that Col. s. G. Reed is the sole pur-

A young man, box of candy, a
pretty girl and fat old woman
created pretty scene on a platform
on the elevated railroad the other
evening, Gays the New York Mail
and Express. The young man had
carefully brought box of candy up
town. 1t bore the name of swell
confectioner, and had kept the pre-
ciou package ON his knee all the way.
Just as he stepped upon the platform
Il stout lady in front turned to re-enter
the car for package left there, when
she struck the young mans box and
knocked it out of his hands. Choice
candies were scattered in all direc-
tons, and general laugh ensued.
The young man looked at the sweet
things in dismay as he said: cts all
right for you people to laugh, but I've
been saving up for two weeks to take
that to my best girl" Just then a
small gloved hand was laid upon his
shoulder and gentle voice said :
"Come along, Eddie; I'm just as
glad to see you without the candies. :"

My extensive dealings with both news
boys and bootblacks have convinced me
that there is no honester class Than they.
The other day gave a newsboy fifty cents
to change, and he went from place to place
until he was out of sight, but seemingly
could not get the change. In II little while
he came painting up the street with the
change and said he was sorry to keep me
waiting. The fellow with the swell bost-
backing establishment borrowed my knife
to scrape the real estate off my shoes, and
! went away and forgot it. He handed it
over next day without a murmur. Some
times the boys haven't change and some
times l haven't, but we fsposo u mutual
confidence in each other and never get
cheated.

gave him five cents. He did not have the

wouldn't, but said nothing Next day

Generally favorable TO the Re-
publicans.

Elections were held Tuesday in II
States. With the returns as yet in
complete the general result seems TO
favor the Republicans. Massachus-

rality of about 1000 and a clear ma
iority of $3.50 as against plurality
of 9,473 and majority 923 last year.
Ohio elects Foraker, republican,
Governor by an old time majority,
probably reaching from 20, 900 to 80
600.
Rhode Island elected a republican
congressman in the second district.
Nebraska goes republican by from
20, 900 to 10000.
Pennsylvania gives reduced re-
publican majority.
On the other hand New York has
gone largely Democratic, MISSISSIPPI
pi and Virginia likewise.
A vote was taken in Oregon on a
constitutional phohibitory amendment
resulting in its defeat by large ma
jority. Dakota on the question of a
division of the territory. The indica-
tions are favorable to the division.

DROVE THROUGH THE DRAW.

Boston, Nov. 6.-At IL a. m. the
carriage of G. Il. Butterfeld of Chel-
sea, returning from the Providence
railroad station with Butterfield and
James Nj. Golf, the latter's wife,
eix-year-old boy and two-year-old
girl, friends of the Butterfields, just
arrived from Providence, was driven
through the open draw of the Warren
bridge, between Boston and Charles
town, and fell into the Charles river.
The struggle for life of the submerg-
ed party was desperate. Finally all
were rescued by boats crew from a
schooner near by. The girl was APP
parently dead and was not resuscitat-
ed for a long time. The accident
was due to the carelessness of the
gatekeeper. The city will have to
pay big damage bill.

A UNIQUE and Famous Pearl.

No explanation ever has been, or ever
will be, forthcoming of the extraordinary
freak of nature in the formation Of the
famous pearl known as the southern cross.
Originally discovered at Roeburn, in
western Australia, it consists of nine
pearls adhering together in the form of a
Latin cross, seven in the shaft and two in
the arms, one on each side Of the shaft,
nearly opposite the second pearl from the
top. The pearls are slightly compressed,
like peas in n pod and no trace of any
artificial junction can be observed 1t
has been suggested that a fragment of
sea weed may have got into the shell and
formed the frame of the construction.
The pearls are Of fine quality, though
slightly misshapen at parts, and the value
Of the gem is very high. Its character is
unique, and so filled the owner--an Irish
man named Kelley-with surerstitious
awe that for long time he was induced
to hide it away and keep his possession Of
1t secret.-Boston Transcript.
